Okay, you said that you are using here streaming replication, but the
standby you are performing this query on seems just to be a hot
standby recovering WAL from a WAL archive, not via streaming. I would
bet that there is no WAL receiver running.
pg_last_xlog_receive_location() get the last WAL position received
from a streaming node, something that is set to NULL if there is no
streaming happening, while pg_last_xlog_replay_location() is set by
the startup process when replaying WAL records.
Again I see no bugs here, you should check if a WAL receiver is
running on this standby server.
